Rival Gardens: New and Selected Poems (Ted Kooser Contemporary Poetry)

Rival Gardens: New and Selected Poems (Ted Kooser Contemporary Poetry) by Connie Wanek
English | Feb. 1, 2016 | ISBN: 0803269641 | 204 Pages | AZW3/MOBI/EPUB/PDF (conv) | 2.28 MB

For decades a restorer of old homes, Connie Wanek shows us that poetry is everywhere, encountered as easily in the waterways, landscapes, and winters of Minnesota, as in the old roofs and darkened drawers of a home long uninhabited. Rival Gardens includes more than thirty unpublished poems, along with poems selected from three previous books—all in Wanek’s unmistakable voice: plainspoken and elegant, unassuming and wise, observant and original. Many of her new poems focus on the garden, beginning with the Garden of Eden.

A deep feeling for family and for the losses and gains of growing into maturity mark the tone of Rival Gardens, with Wanek always attending to the telling detail and the natural world.
